I didn't realise they were that much of a threat out there..

I’m pretty sure In my state if you bring one in dead you get a LIFE TIME HUNTING LICENSE FOR FREE. That’s how bad they are.

I’m pretty sure this is still going

Mounted coyote hunts are starting to frown on lurchers here too.I learned a lot from the English houndsman but honestly I couldn't understand the Irishman and he couldn't understand me as I speak southern (record player dragging accent) But he was happy to send me what I needed.I will always be grateful to these men.When I got out of lurchers I sent the best one to the drunk banker lady.She is still catching coyotes with him.

No one apart from one girl could understand a single word I said ! 

I'd look at someone,  talk as slow and pronounced as possible and  NOTHING

They'd just look at the girl for translation

About the size of a collie

Nice pic.In Dixie there is no Fields as big as the Midwest states have.So several get away but it works the same.

I assume the runners caught that dilly.

And how did you find him daytime.

Calling or come across him wandering about.

Have a look on YouTube King, plenty on there, they drive around in trucks with drop boxes on mate. The stags (lurchers) see them first usually,  once you hear them screaming for action you know you're in business.

Couple decent ones on the net , trucks se5 up decent  where the side box opens with pull on leaver 

[dillydog 8,514]

Drop box, a wire run a into the cab, once you get somewhere near you slow down and pull the wire which releases the stags

Nice Dropbox.They use the same here. I mostly walked alone with a runner.I tried some of these lurchers on whitetail deer as there is places here to run deer with dogs.I never was successful as our Fields are generally small but it made my heart pump to watch a deer run so fast that they belly appeared to touch the ground.Their body would appear 8 ft long

I would love a go of that mate will have a look on YouTube now.

I would drive around all day..

This is the first video I found.

When those dogs are sounding to go the old heart starts beating a bit lol.

I've never seen that type of hunting before.the land is amazing just endless.
